Disney has announced 14-year-old Auli’i Cravalho, pictured above left, will voice Moana in their upcoming animated musical of the same name.

The announcement came via a feature on People.com in which we get to meet Auli’i and check out a couple of first-look photos from Moana. The leading lady and her companion Maui are pictured above.

According to Disney, Moana is set in the South Pacific and follows a “spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors’ quest.”

Said Auli’i of Moana, “She’s brave, she is so empowered, she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to get it, and I think that’s something that I can relate to as well. I just love watching how she goes along in this wonderful movie and grows as a person and helps her culture along the way.”

While the photos are nice, the best part of the report is this new video depicting Auli’i auditioning for the role and hearing from the filmmakers that she’s getting the gig. Watch and try not to swoon over the Disney magic within:

As previously announced, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be co-starring in Moana as the demi-god Maui (he’ll be singing too). The film is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who also helmed Aladdin and The Little Mermaid.

I saw some footage from Moana at Disney’s D23 Expo in August and liked what I saw. I really think this film is going to go down in cinematic history as one of those epic Disney Animated stories.

“Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds,” reads a synopsis from Disney.
